"You can learn just as much from your TORMENTORS as from your MENTORS."
- Karen Salmansohn (Tip # 60 in Ballsy)
Actually, the quote above is the subtext of Karen’s tip. The point of the arrow reads, "Even A Schmuck Can Teach You Things." My take: If you can’t learn from a schmuck, who’s the schmuck?"
So here’s the challenge for you today (and for every day for the rest of your time)…
If you find yourself ready to complain, gripe, moan, whine, gossip, whuddevah!…ask a few genius-type questions and excavate your learning experience.
What’s a genius-type question?
- What if…?
- How is _____ like ____?
- What would it take to _____?
- How would people respond to _____?
- What would it look like if we turned this so?
So c’mon brainy-hacks, bring on the life lessons, yeah? Remember, begin with a beginner’s mindset and learn sump’n'-sump’n’.
